AMEN. Page fourteen Four years ago train No. 1921 left Freshmen Corners and started on Its trip toward Sophomore Village. The train was tilled for there were many passengers. The road was rather rough and the train traveled rapidly for there was a long Journey ahead. The chief engineer on this journey was .Mr. Sherman, and the conductor was Mr. Savage. The other members ot the train crew were Miss Culver. Miss Duffy, Miss Cates, Miss Carver, Miss Gwynn, Mr. Jenks. and Mr. McWilliams. The brakeman was Henrietta Jorrissen. The train stopped at various stations on the way, and at these times the passengers were allowed to get off and rest themselves. There were eight stops. At two of them we entertained people from other trains. Dancing was enjoyed and refreshments served, so that all felt ready to go on their journey again. All was not pleasant on this trip, for at Latin Swamp the train was almost wrecked, hut Miss Duffy's Ingenuity brought us through safely. We had one more stop, this time for a picnic. We finally reached Sophomore Village, but not before a number or the passengers had decided to leave the train and live at other towns. After three months stop while the train was repaired, we started • n again. This time Engineer Sherman was again at the head, with Mr. Savage as conductor. The train crew was changed some this time. It was composed of Miss Congleton. Miss Adair. Miss Davis, Miss Sayles, Miss Greenfield. Mr. Wheater and Mr. Jenks. The brakeman was changed. This time Mavorie Farmer held the position. Hit , assistants were Hazel Weeks, Nina May. and William Bsler. Miss Sayles was put in charge of the meals, and she remained in charge for the rest of the trip. At Caesar Bridge there was a terrible wreck, and a number of the assengers wore so seriously injured that they did not recover for a ear. There were only four stops for recreation this time, as the engineer decided that it would l� e necessary to spend more time in traveling way was so rough, and the Journey so long. At one of the station stops a play was given by the passengers for the entertainment of people from other trains. Tills play For the Old Flag.” will long be remembered. At another station a tug-of-war was held. Our train. No. and train. No. 1920, put up a good fight, but were finally pulled through the water. The lust stop before reaching Junior Town was a picnic. We had a wonderful time for we climbed sand dunes, wandered through woods, and ate ice cream and cake until we wondered if we would ever want to eat any again. We travelled only a short distance further before we reached Junior Town. Here we had another three months wait. Again the passengers scattered, but again they returned. We realized now that our Journey was half over, and we decided to make the most of the rest of it. A few of our passengers decided not to go any further, but in spite of this we had quite a number who boarded the train for Senior City. This time we had a different engineer. Mr. Blanchard. The conductor also was changed. Mr. Spitler holding the position. The ■ the.-members of the train crew were Miss McCauley, Miss Sayles, Min.; Anklet. Miss Davis, Miss Adair, Miss Fruechtel. Mr. Gilbert, and Mr. Wellman. Henrietta Jorrhsen was our conductor. She had for her assistants, James I.evore, Hazel Weeks, and Melbourne Barton. All cf these resigned and left us exept James before the journey wa: ended. Clarence Riddell was given Henrietta's position, and Marion lleeg and Margaret Hasley filled the other places well. There were more stops this year than ever before. At eight cf these stations dancing parties were given. The passengers of cur train were the hosts at two of them. On our train we had formed a basket ball team and it surely was a fine one. for it won for us the cup which was presented to the train whose team won the most games In the tournament. There were teams from three other trains competing. We also won fame in another athletic contest, in the Field Day track meet. There were several events In the meet, nnd when the Pag ; fifteen SENIOR CLASS HISTORY-CONTINUED ---------------------------------------- 1 9 --------------------------------------- ---------------------------------- • 2 1 ---------------------------------- final scores were added, it was found that train No. 1! 21 in connection with train No. 1920 had won the meet. On May 21, 1920, we entertained the passengers from train No. 1920 at the Junior-Senior Reception. An elaborate banquet was served, after which dancing was enjoyed. The decorations of purple and gold, and green and white were very effective on the banquet tables and in the dance hall. Our last stop before reaching Senior City was for another picnic. This time, however, instead of having one by ourselves we had it in connection with passengers from trains 1920, 1922. and 1923. When this was over, we again boarded our train and soon were in Senior City. We were anxious to see the wonders of this city, but before doing so, we took another three months rest. When we gathered together in September, 1920. there were only twenty-one of us. This time the train crew was almost the same as it had been. There were a few changes, however, for Miss Pett, Miss Schultz, and Mr. Trull were with us. We were eager for this trip, and yet dreaded it. for we realized that this was the last one we would make together. We were now-headed for the great sea, the Sen of Life, where we would launch, not together, but separately. Our brakeman on this last trip was a splendid one, Marion lieeg. Her assistants were Walter Dennert, Carson McMillan, and Margaret Hasley. There were five stops on this trip for parties, at one of which we entertained the passengers from other trains. On the afternoon of May sixth, we stopped at Fair Grounds Crossing for a rtack meet. Our passengers did splendidly, in this, showing that they were good athletes. Their athletic ability had been previously displayed in basket ball. A team had been chosen from the passengers of our train and trains No. 1922, 1923, and 1924. Three of the members of this team were from our train. On May thirteenth, we did what we had done two years before, only on a much larger scale. We gave a play for the entertainment of the passengers of other trains. The name of the play you all remember undoubtedly. It was “Niobe, All Smiles.” It was a splendid success as you will also recall. One week after this event we were honored guests at a banquet and dance, known as the Junior Reception. The passengers of train No. 1922 were in charge of this. We decided to follow the example of those who had taken this trip before us and publish a Martian which would contain all our honors and achievements, as well as those of the pnssengers of the other trains. You can judge for yourselves the merit of our work. Now we nave reached the end of our journey. We are together tonight for almost the last time. Our train has reached its final destination, Commencement Harbor. “Tonight we set sail, where shall we anchor? Each of us will anchor in a different place, but as we sail wo shall all look back to the good old times of H. H. S. I.OIS HAWLEY.

Those before them had won. so could they. Accordingly in September of that year, a sturdy band of Freshmen, forty in number, left their native land, the Grades, for the unconquered wilds of the High School. In this verdant, semi-tropical wilderness they found a tribe of natives which called itself the Faculty. These persons proved to be cry friendly to newcomers, and valuable assistance was rendered. Chief Sherman, with his right hand assistant . Principal Savage, brought messages of welcome to them, pointing out the many advantages of their new homes. Miss Adair, who was well versed in English, served as an Interpreter between the two unacquainted peoples. Miss Congloton offered her services by teaching to there Freshmen the language spoken by the natives: while Miss Gates willingly helped them in their surveying and computations in laying out the village, which was soon to be named Freshmanville. Mr. Wheater gave wonderful help in teaching the strangers the value to be found in the soil and showed them how to raise plentiful crops in the new land. Miss Sayle:; proved an Inestimable friend In teaching the housekeepers the best methods of food preparation of the pre-vlously-unheard-of fruits and vegetables. Mr. Jenks taught them how to ascertain the change of weather by a study of the stars, while Mis:'. Greenfield proved a friend in helping them to conduct their business with the Faculty. A small republic was fotmed and the following officers were elected to serve for a term of one year: President, the late Arlecn Gregoire; Vice-President. Clara Hergmnnn; Secretary. Edith Hawley: and Treasurer, Robert Vail. The work of the year was difficult, but those who earnestly put their shoulders to the wheel were not disapointed in results. Occasional holidays gav the tudent pioneers rest, parties were frequent, and athletics became a favorite pastime. As spring approached, rumors of a be er location further inland came to the settlers, rumor:; which were supported by the Faculty. Those who had succeeded in the undertakings of the first year planned to make the move. A clay of Joviality was set aside to celebrate the success of the year passed in Preshmanville. A great picnic was planned for this event to which the ready helpers, the Faculty, were invited. Thus the first year of hardship and happiness was brought to a close and preparations made for the short Journey to the new location. The following September found only thirty-three of the sturdy pioneers settling in the new territory. Two of the Faculty Tribe, tho Misses Adair and Sayles, became so attached to their responsibilities of instruction to the inexperienced, yet undaunted homesteaders, that they made Uie trip with them. Here more natives were found as willing to help and as friendly to all as the acquaintances of the first year. Chief Hlanchard and Principal Spitler were the spokesmen of their trilw ; Miss Adair continued her work of the previous year; Miss McCauley succeeded Miss C'ongleton; Miss Gates’ place was supplied by Principal Spitler; Mr. Weltman continued the instruction in weather foreease and astronomy; Mr. Gilbert helped them in their farm work: Miss Sayier. was at her task of the year before; Miss Davis was a well known personage who dwelt on the history of the new land; an l Miss Areklet became business overseer between the two peoples. A government was again established, and the officers elected were the following: President. Helen Hillings; Vice-President, Juanita Wallace; Secretary. Doris Evans: and Treasurer. Doris Dennison. The work of this year was more difficult than of the previous one. Tlie soil was more fertile but yet it was more rocky. Many stones had to be removed by sheer perscrverance and diligence, and although the natives were anxious to help those who tried, the pioneers found that more was expected from them unassisted, than had been before. The yeai was spent in much the same way as th preceeding one, both In their labor and recreation. A serious hail storm of demerits affrighted the settlement at one time hut the excitement soon lessened. Tlie effect was curious in some cases first class I.at in crops were (Continued on puge 66.)

Nevertheless we decided to have a good time while we obtained our credits. The following officers were elected: Theodore Dayharsh. President; Dick Shinn. Vice-President; Thelma Dumont. Secretary: and Ktasia Bruckman. Treasurer. Miss Savles was appointed our guardian and blue and gold were our class colors. Our first party was a great success, with the exception of the refreshments, which were stolen by some of the high school boys. We closed our year of study and pleasure with a picnic at Juniper Beach. The next fall we again entered the assembly, but this time as Freshies. Theodore Dayharsh was re-elected president: Helen Hawley. vice-president: Phyllis Joslin, secretary; and Geraldine Maze, treasurer. During the winter we entertained the high school with a party, and later with a program in which those who took part displayed remarkable talent. Toward the end of the year we gave a Fancy Dress Hall and in June, we with the rest of the high school, enjoyed our second picnic at the lake. latst September when we returned to school, we felt rather more at ease. for. being Sophs, we were not in awe of the dignified Seniors, as we were Inclined to be while Freshmen. Theodore Dayharsh was again elected president: Helen Hawley, vice-president; Dick Shinn, treasurer; and Hazel Johnson, secretary. In January we entertained the Seniors, Juniors. Freshmen and Faculty with a party. Soon after came our progrant in which we proved that had progressed in the art of entertaining. The Reserve Basket Hall Team, which has made a splendid showing this year, consists mostly of Sophs, the class is very proud of them. Soon we shall have our annual field-day. when we hope to display more of our athletic ability. Now we are looking forward with pleasure to our picnic, which will make the close of our Sophomore year, which we believe, has been a success. Hazel Johnson.

Geraldine Evans and Ada Riddell. The cln guardian was Miss Schultz. We gave a Hard Times party about the last of February for the class and invited guests only. We played games, some of which were Sly Winkum. Coining Through Jerusalem. Fish Pond, Swat the Kaiser. and many others. We served sandwiches and apples in paper bags, with cocoa in tin cups. The party was closed with a very unique auction sale of all the members of the class. On the morning of the fifteenth of April, we gave, to the rest of the high school, a play entitled The Patriotic Peanut Stand. We know at least it was successful, for no one lost his or her part. We are all looking forward to the time when we shall be Seniors, but we are sure that memories of our eighth grade will never be left behind. Geraldine Evans. Page twenti-ceven EDITORIALS — 1 9 � __ — 2 1 —-- ’’Tonight we Ret sail, where do we anchor? ' What a field of possibilities is opened to us. the Class of '21. We have boon preparing for this departure for years. We have made plans, prophecies, dreams In which we have held the center of importance. Our mistakes have l oen righted in this process, perhaps we have disheartened teachers, but still we build on to our vessel. At first it was a sloop, unmanageable and each year saw a development. Until upon our graduation from the eighth grade we were fairly good lake going craft. We had a handicap which was our method of acquiring motion, for we had sails. Not satisfied we again came back to the protection of the harbor and worked on harder perhaps, but with bettor results. Under the able leadership of Skippers who had abandoned the other branches to become instructors we developed a better power. We sail tonight under our own power not held back by wind or tide. We sail—our dreams will perhaps now be actualities. We go to new ports. Some to new and greater harbors, but still we all hold dear the memories of cur lazy days while lying in our home harbor. These trips hold much for us. In a short time some may acquire fame and fortune but still may the class of ’21 continue through life’s stormy sea with sound and trustworthy vessels, not the ships of corruption due to disloyalty, mean tricks or attempts to burden our fellow-men. but with the ships in which the honorable memories of home, (led ar.d our country are dominate. ourselves to become weak and diseased, losing the high moral note placed before us, we break the trust which the great God has bestowed upon each and everyone. This trust is progress towards a greater standards of Christianity, morality, economics and intellectuality. But. the Class of '21 will not fail the world, and I speak for the entire group of this year's graduates. We will show our parents our appreciation of their deprivation and sacrifices which they have undergone, that we, the Class of '21, might join in the world work, to put our shoulder to the wheel, with no fear of failure, due to the wonderful education which they have given us. The Hart High School this year has made a wonderful showing in everything which they have undertaken. The Football Team showed the rest of the school, and the town, what it was made of. Next yeai we are confident that the team will win, not four out of seven, but all the games. The Basket Ball Team made the best showing it has ever made in the record of the II. II. S. The greatest showing of all. however, lies in the increase of school spirit. It was great, keep it up. Make the world hear you. You’ve got the most wonderful school in the world, and let ’em hear you. Come on gang, let’s go. Nine Rahs for The greatest SCHOOL going. H. II. S. As I sit and think of the great men and women who have lived before us. of the wonderful advances, the inventions, everything which have meant and caused the wonderful progress of this great nation. Again, or interwined with these thoughts, come the one great thought. 1 and my classmates are stepping into this world which has been prepared for us. Will we fail cur forefathers? Will we cause the downfall of these high ideals? If we do the world is lost. We are the leaders of tomorrow, appointed by destiny. If our leading is a mass of corruption and difsolutior.. following the path of bast resistance. If we allow A little spell about our Cheer Leader will be not only appropriate, but a chance for the class of '21 to thank Russ Hvans for the services rendered while filling that position. Russ is a regular fellow and some man on the football field. He In well liked and that goes a long way towards drawing noise from the student body. We all hope that Rurs will be here next year, both In football and a-. Basket Ball Cheer leader, for he is some noise coaxcr when it comes to getting yells cut. We know that yells alone sometimes help a team to win games and he is the guy that gets the volume. Page liventy eight 1 9 EDITORIALS 2 1 BOOSTER VS.

ATHLETICS AND THE SCHOOL In practically all schools, even the small ones of the county, athletics exist to a greater or lesser extent. I am going to consider their value, and relation to scholarship. To the true athlete, athletics are not a source of easily gained pleasure. It is work to train and to play at one's best. The football player who puts in from two to four hours a day in dry practice does not do it only for the uncertain pleasure of winning a game. The basket ball player who puts his last ounce of strength into the game, the oarsman whose arms feel like leaden weights at the end last, boat length of the course, or the runner who thinks that to drop by the wayside would be the swetest pleasure imaginable, does not find it pleasure of an easily gained sort. But he is working towards the accomplishment of an aim. When the same athlete goes up against the problems of life, he will know that a desirable aim is sometimes not easily accomplished, and that a stiff battle often precedes victory. A convincing proof of this is the actual facts taken from records Very few of those athletes who distinguished themselves to any degree have failed to make good, and eonveresly. a great many of those who are successful men today have been athletes, and have learned a valuable lesson from their experience as such. Now, realizing the value of athletics, what is their connection with the school? The boy who cares for a school only because of its athletics, has no place there. The primary object of the school and college is education. and athletics may be considered as a minor branch of this education, but not as the main aim of the student. In most schools, the students must have a fair passing mark before they are allowed to participate in sports. This is a good restriction because it keeps before the mind of the student the fact that learning is of major importance. If he has any desire to play, he will naturally atteninpt to keep his standings in good condition. Thus, Instead of causing students to fail, or receive poor marks, athletics often raise their standings. Since athletics are so beneficial to the youth, but do not impede his progress in education, let us hope that our schools will recognize their importance and provide for them. ‘aye twenty-nine LITERARY ►-------------------------------------------------------------------------- 1 9 i-------------------------------------------------------------------------- --------------------------------------------- - 2 1 --------------------------------------------f. THE ORIENTAL PROBLEM (In the oratorical contest held in connection with the State Oratorical content, the local winner was Marion llccg.) Since the World War, all eyes have looked with respect upon America. Tor everyone realizes the great work she has done for the cause of humanity. Are we now to lose this regard by failing to be able to solve definitely one of our greatest problems? The question which is now facing the entire nation Is whether or not we shall continue to restrict Japanese Immigration, and if we shall grant full civil rights to those aliens already here. There has always exist' d the problem of the connection between the white and colored races; and that of the Japanse in California is only one part of it. Now is the time to come to a decision concerning this portion, lest the antagonistic feelings already existing between the two nations concerned, should increase and result In severed relations and war. We must try to act justly, but first of all. it Is necessary to consider our national welfare. About feur centuries ago the white people began to migrate and settle in uninliahilaied countries. During this time the Oriental race remained stationary, but lately Japan has become crowded and wants new territory. Compulsory conscription laws have also been passed and many wish to escape. The rich lands of America naturally appeal to them, especially California. When first they began to immigrate to this state, the people welcomed them as a godsend. They needed workers on their farms and tailreads. Besides, the Japanese worked much more cheaply than the Americans. However, that stite of affairs could not continue. The Japanese entered in such numbers and accumulated so much land that California became alarmed. In 1882 only five came to the United States, but in 1900 over 12.000 arrived. The situation had become critical. A mass meeting was held in San Francisco to protest against this avalanche and to call for immediate action. In answer to the demand the San Francisco Board of Education caused the foreigners to be separated from the white children. This incurred the great dis- pleasure of Japan and she protested still more when President Roosevelt refused to let any Japanese or Korean laborers enter the United States. At the same time, by means of the Gentlemen’s Agreement. an understanding was arrived at by the Japanese and American governments. This was thought to be a very clever way of solving the difficulty, as It laid all responsibility upon Japan. She agreed to refuse passports to laborers, except former residents, their close tclatives and settled agriculturists. It was hoped that all trouble would end here and that immigration w-ould decrease. On the contrary. in a few years, more Japanese came than ever before. Those in this country did not hesitate to evade the “Gentlemen’s Agreement.” This was aeompllr.hed by importing “picture brides,” who were so-called because all that was necessary to constitute a legal Japanese marriage was an exchange of photographs. As the .ipanere worked harder and lived more economically than their white neighbors they soon acquired groat quantities of rich land. In many parts of California they composed the majority, and the Californians appealed to the government to save their property a d keep the state from becoming a yellow colony altogether. The state then passed her Heney-Webb Land Bill which prohibited Orientals from acquiring land and put a restriction on the time of leases. Nevertheless there was an opening even in tills carefully devised law. and the Japanese found it. They w-ere not to he turned in this way from their purpose of holding territory. Their children were made grantees of land and they themselves were appointed guardians. Besides that they bought stock in corporations owning agricultural areas. A survey taki n in 1919 proved that the I and Bill had been a failure. The Californians demanded immediate action to remedy this, but while they were busy making plans. Secretary Lansing sent them a me:sage from Versailles. The Peace Conference was in session and he warned them not to pass any stringent measures against the Japanese as it would lie injurious. However, the people were so insistent that i.unsing finally Induced Japan to stop issuing passports to “picture-brides.” Page thing LITERARY-CONTINUED -------------------------------- 1 9 '� ________________________________ Instead of being entirely satisfied now California drew up her Alien Land Bill. This law put an end to the leasing or owning of land by Japanese, and prevented them front taking stock in agricultural corporations; they were also prohibited front becoming guardians to their own children. The bitter feeling of the Japanese in California toward the United States was expressed by all their native newspapers. Japan declared that California, in doing this, insinuated that the Japanese were inferior to us. It is not a question of the rank of either nation, it is one of difference between them. The Japanese are a race entirely unlike ours and difficult to assimilate. One Japanese paper declared that the New World had been given to all humanity and not to the whites alone. It is universally recognized that every nation has the right to decide what its population shall be and what kind of people shall hold its lands. May we not make use of this privilege itt relation to Japanese Immigration, just ns Australia, Canada, and New Zealand have done? Japan made no protest against that and we shall do no more than they. She herself Is very particular about what Immigrants shall come in and where they shall live. Why should she object if we do likewise? Some people have also expressed the fear that if we refuse to allow Japanese to settle on our soil, Japan will break off trade relations with us. and in this way we should lose millions of dollars. Is that logical? Japan realizes that California has acted entirely within her own constitution and that of the United States. It is likely that, in order to he avenged, she would go about it In a manner so destructive to her own commercial wealth? Since the alien Japanese in this country will undoubtedly remain, it will be best to give them full rights and privileges, such as we outst Ives enjoy. As citizens of the United States, they will realize that this is their country and their government and will take more interest In it. Instead of merely trying to become rich at the expense of the government, they will try to help America, knowing that while they are aiding her they are benefiting themselves. However, we cannot consider letting down our Immigration bars ---------------------------- 2 1 ---------------------------- again. We must continue our present policy of restrictive Immigration. If we do not, our national integrity will be endangered. Our high standards of which we are all so proud, will be corrupted by the Immorality of the Japanese. We must remember that their predominant racial characteristics are hereditary. Are we to stand back and lot Oriental people destroy our race? Shall this land for which we have worked and suffered cease to be white and no longer be typically American? This is unthinkable. We must not allow it and will not, for every loyal citizen has pledged himself to do all in his power to preserve that which is dearest to the heart of America, her ideals. IMAGINATION Ladies and Gentlemen, and any others who may be present. As y-u all have probably heard, each class of the high school has made arrangements to give one of these entertainments. When I was a-ked. two weeks ago. to be on the Junior program, I was only to be allowed one week in which to work. I rejected this as I had too much lr do to write anything in this length of time, saying that there were others present who could do Just as well as I. if they would imagine that they could and get up and make the attempt. Then they allowed me two weeks, explaining that there were others but if they wanted mo for the best part. Well. I couldn't flatter myself by even promising lo take the best part, but I did promise to do something. In deciding on the subject that I would speak on this morning I tried to find something that would be of special interest to school children. There is but one such subject. That is, what do they go to school for. or some thing connected with that. Rack in the days of i’lato and Aristotle, when the foundation for cur present day schools was laid and in the Dark Ages, the main object In going to school war. to gain knowledge. Now. the ptincipal aim is to gain gredits. It's all right to get credits but in doing r.o we should not forget to value the knowledge that there credits stand for. For n great many people now, the credits and not the knowledge seems to be their aim. They both should be. for neither is complete without the other. But at that, the general trend now is to gain knowledge, knowledge that will on- y Page thirty one LITERARY- 1 9 large the capacity anti ability of the brain that it will work for us and help us to succeed in later life. So the subject I will speak on in the few minutes that I have this morning will be the mind, with t'.pecial reference to the imagination. There is an old saying that we all heave heard. • Nrccrsity Is the mother of Invention. I am Inclined to dispute the truth of this statement anti say that to some extent Imagination la the mother of Inven- Hon Necessity may suggest I..............thru imag.nation the ideal condition with the new thing nupplying the deficiency.

An answer, no .natter ow a m right should, and usually does receive more credit than r.t all. It shows that the person Is thinking even if he doesn. t think tight Did you ever stop to think how many wrong and incoirt thoughts it takes to make one good one?

In such a case If the tmagir.-tlon works properly Its use Is not noticed, hut when It doesn't its use Is obvious.

He answered wi h the.word •arrow In class Harry seems to depend entirely on his imagination. Another time 1 remember of was In the ninth grade English class when we were having a lesson on the principal pans of verbs. It rcoms that Harry didn't know much about the lesson, and as Page thirty-two CONTINUED _____________________ 2 1 _____________________r all lo on such occasions, was trying to answer everything that he could so that he wouldn't he so apt to he called on for somdhIng that he didn't know anything about. Finally the teacher asked tor the principal part of the verb ' bring. Harry was sure that he knew the answer and he didn't want to miss the chance. Hethrewboth hands up in the air and made a terrible fuss. Well, she called on him. He Just Jumped right up and hollered, ''firing, brang, brung Thump! Ho sat down. Imagination is c.f three forms: That which has to do with the na-t that Which deals with the present or the imaginary present, and that which is connected with the future. The imagination which leads to invention comes under the last form. Imaginations cf the past are not of any great importance but I have one example cf them which I must mention. A few weeks ago the basket ball hoys went to Muskegon. Just what they did there is practically unknown as they all tell a different story. I heard all kind; of scores. Mr. SpUler. who is the best authority that we have t „ the subject, says the score was 36 to 12 in favor of Muskegon. I'.aynrd Buchen says that it was 1ft to 10 in favor of Hart. The other day I read of a very amusing example of imagination of the present which occurred during the war. It was a very dark night and a certain Kngltr.h sentry was out on guard. After he had been there for a while he heard a little noise. Who goes there, he called. In a moment the answer came. “French soldier. Pass on French soldier. In a little while he heard a noise from over in this direction. Who gees there? The answer came. “English soldier. •Pass on English soldier.” After a few minutes he heard a noise from r.ff this way. Who goe, there? Almost instantly the answer came. • Who in Hell wants to know? Pass on. American soldier. Mell. thank God we are all Americans. Few of us realize how much imagination has had to do with the development cf civilization. The discovery of America by Columbus s but one example of thousands that could ho mentioned. Imagination Was the real starter of this discovery and faith finished it up. Before I sit down I wish to give the officers of the other classes LITERARY-CONTINUED — I 9 ►____________ a little advice regarding these entertainments. When our class tried to And some on to put on this program they found it almost an impossibility to g t anybody who thought they could do anything. Well, finally they managed to get a few to volunteer. A little later, when the Junior (Mass Family Row came up. they found that in picking the speakers they had actually missed the ones who could say the most. For us this information came too late, but the other classes ought to profit by our experience. If you have any trouble In getting speakers Just start a gcod hot class row and have It last for about two weeks. By the end of that time they will be sifted down to about three people who can give several times the amount of entertainment that we are attempting to give this morning. I thank you. O. Z. B. A FREE TRIAL OFFER “Telegram, Miss A nett a.” It was a warm day in early August as the messenger slowly aprcached the vine covered ] orch of the modest home of Anetta Moore, where she sat painting the small cards that would bring money for her art school education. Don't be afraid. Miss Anetta, your mother is all right, she wa:; assured In response to her slight pallor. Then tearing a tendril from the vine as he handed her the missive, the messenger sauntered on his way. Anetta tore open the envelope and read the message. Mrs. Wexton coming on the five o'clock and going to stay overnight. Impossible. Why. I must let her know. Mother away, and the furniture, oh the furniture. What if she should find out. what would she say. this woman who despises deceit? I must not let her come. I must not. Anetta sank into the chintz-covered rocker, the telegram clutched in one hand. Now. Anetta Moore, aren't you sorry? Don't you wish you had done as your mother thought best? It Is just what you deserve though but aren't you sorry?” Tauntingly she fired the ques- — 2 1 ------------------- tlons at herself. Aren’t you just sorry that you ever took all that fancy furniture at thirty days free trial when you never intended to buy it? Don't you wish you had let Mrs. Wexton know your circumstances last June as they really were? She never came to see your furniture anyway, she came to see you graduate. And aren't you sorry, sorry, sorry? As she finished the last angry words, she rushed into the house to see it as Mrs. Wexton would. The parlor, furnished in June with beautiful oak and a Brussels tug. had now only some shabby mission chairs, a table, and a thread. Imre carpet. The dining room, fitted before with a suite far beyound the Moore's purse, now stared her In the face as much as to say, Serves you right. The kitchen—well luckily it was a built-in one, and looked the same as ever. But the guest room and Mrs. Wexton planning to stay over night had only a cold iron bed. a plain white dresser, and an old cane-scated chair. I.ast June it had looked fit for a queen, with a dainty suite of curly maple. “And my room, thought Anetta. “Well, I'll leek it up and sleep in Mother's. Mrs. Wexton may continue to think it is the storeroom as it surely was last June, packed with all this horrid old stufT.” She threw herself on the bed. If father had only lived. she grieved, as a lump rose in her throat, then we should still have the means to entertain Wexton's and kings and queens if they wanted to come. Each of tin- three years since the accident. Father, she fell Into her old habit of addressing him, has been harder to bear. If you were here. I could go to art school this year, but now. now I mu::I wait and work ar.d I will do it. too. Suddenly she raised herself, a faint smile on her lips. She always smiled a little after one of hei despairing moods” as she called them —smiled at anything. Today she smiled at the contrast. There surely is a difference.” she told herself, between Mrs. Wexton’s visit in June and this one. I know that then she was planning to send me to art school because Mrs. Elston said she told her all about It. New York Art Institute. Her eyes brightened then lost their light. But now I hope she misses her train. It is too late to stop her: I might tack a quarantine on the house, but that is out of the question. The Pjjs thirty three LITERARY-CONTINUED 1 9 ' -------------------------------- girl Jumped to her feet, clenched her fists and exclaimed. You've set your own trap. Anetta Moore, grin and bear it. She fairly flew about the shabby house. Not so really shabby as contrastingly shabby,” she told herself. Only three hours before the live o'clock is due, she observed, making a hasty inventory of the larder, then telephoned her order to the corner grocery one that made the eyes of the familiar clerk open wide. “Sounds just like her orders did last Juno.” he chuckled, “pretty tony. The three hours came and went all too soon for Anetta’s deft lingers. A little Wizard Oil combined with some energy would improve things, she thought, as she rushed to make her toilet, but I simply have not time. As dainty as a sweet pea. she met her guest at the train. Only the wisest ar.d most observant could ever have thought that Mrs. Wexton was an unwelcome guest, so graciously did Anetta receive her and so warmly did she clasp her hand. I’ll take your bag. she offered, reaching for it. It is too heavy for you to carry all the way home on this warm day. Nctta d ar, 1 shall have it sent, her guest replied. Well,” thought Anetta. how did she ever know that I had not ordered a taxi, as we did last June? Arriving at home, having made her guest comfortable after the journey, Annetta hastened to prepare the evening meal. Will Mrs. Wexton say anything about the sudden change in the furnishings? She cannot help but notice, the girl mused, and really, 1 almost hope she does ray something pretty soon too or I’ll collapse. I would like to blurt out the whole story right now. and I wish I could. However she did not. but served the salmon, made the chocolate and cut the cake. All the while she was getting the meal she could not drown out the thought of New York Art Institute. Perhaps that was the reason Mrs. Wexton had come, to tell her about it. In vain did she try to shut out the dreams that persisted in staying by her. As the meal progressed successfully, so did Anetta progress successfully in her art work. Now she put all her enthusiasm into stirring of the chocolate; now she saw beautiful designs in the placing of the 2 1 -------------------------------- prettiest cup against a brown background. As the slices of bread fell from the loaf that she so carefully cut, she was graduated with honors. P� y the time the glasses were filled. Anetta was a famous artist. Money came rolling to her in return for her masterpieces. Dollar after dollar she sent home to her mother for her personal needs and to buy respectable furniture. The thought of furniture brought Anetta back to the contrastingly shabby parlor, tin- dining room, and most painful of all, the guest room. How polite, how kind it was of Mrs. Wexton to ignore it all. Why , exclaimed the to-be-artist, she acts just as If she expected it to bo that way. when I know well enough she did not.” Anetta called her guest to the dainty spread. She noticed how unconcernedly Mrs. Wexton stepped over the worn place in the rug to avoid catching the toe of her buckled slipper in the loose warp of the carpet, as naturally as if she expected worn places to appear at any moment. I see. Netta dear, that you do not confine your artistic abilities to pastels and paints only; this supper is lovely, her guest remarked 3 they arose from the table. “Yes, Mrs. Wexton, Anetta replied, Mother taught me to use my talents wherever I could, not only wherever I chose.” Anetta wondered at herself as soon as she had spoken the words. Why I never confided In her like that before, she exclaimed to herself, then hastened to add, If you will make yourself comfortable on the porch Mrs. Wexton. I'll clear away the dishes. Her guest hesitated for a minute, then replied. I.et me hip you. I haven't done a bit of real work in the kitchen for twenty years.” The Mrs. Wexton of wealth was gone, and in her place was the real Mrs. Wexton. eager as a child to dry a few plain china plates. As she very carefully set down the first polished tumbler, qtiietly shc asked her first question. Netta dear, when your father lost his life in the explosion of his mine three years ago. did it leave your mother and you in very close circumstances? For seconds the room was quiet, then Anetta answered by a nod LITERARY-CONTINUED 1 9 2 1 of her head. And so at last you were forced to sell your furnishings this summer for less expensive ones? Anetta could stand to keep it from her guest no longer. “Mrs. W ex ton. she began, clearing her throat and thinking of the set trap as she slipped a plate Into the rinsing pan, when you sent us word last May that you were to visit us at commencement, we didn't know what to do. You see the last time you visited us was before the money wont and there in the big house we had decent furniture. Unconsciously she emphasized the word decent. “But when Mother and I moved, of course we sold It all. Mother said you were not coming to see the house, but to see us, and to attend the graduation exercises. Well, finally she let me have my own foolish way. and the furniture- all that furniture I managed to get on thirty' days' free trial. Anetta drew a deep breath. The tale was told. Of course we couldn't keep it; Mother never said much but 1 know she did not like it. Did you like it? Mrs. Wexton questioned as she hung the towel to dry. “Not very well afterwards. Anetta answered, hanging the dfshpan in place. Let's go out on the piazza, Netta. and I'll tell my side of the affair. Anetta wondered. Her side of the affair, she inwardly exclaimed. “Did she know? Could she possibly have found out? And oh. Art Institute.” She thrust the thought aside. “.Now Netta. what would jou say if I told you that I knew all about the thirty days' free trial offer?” her guest gently asked. “I don’t know.” Anetta answered in perplexity. “Did you?” Yes, I knew the whole story. Did you not get the furniture from Near and Bacton's? Anetta nodded her heal. How did it ever become known? she wondered, and then thought of Mrs. Wexton's hate for dishonesy. As you probably did not know, her guest continued, my m phew (s an agent for that firm and It was from him 1 learned the story. He said he knew very well you never intended to keep it. hut a; he had no proof he decided to let you have it. When I heard the story. I knew from exeperience that you would learn your lesson. I could understand how you would feel, for when I was a junior in high school. I did the same thing. I was boarding in town, and of course there was little money In our old family purse, so my room was poorly furnished. A wealthy friend was to visit me. so what did I do? I procured a perfectly lovely bedroom suite— ' “On thirty days’ free trial. Anetta supplied the familiar phrase before she realized it. Oh pardon me,” she exclaimed, slightly blushing, but the words Just would come. Did the friend ever find out? Yes. she did. most naturally, Mrs. Wexton made reply, “and I never have forgotten how I felt when that same person dropped In a few weeks later and found my room furnished in cretonue covered !x)xes and an old wooden bedstead. So you see. Netta. I can understand how you have felt. “As if you had been caught in your own trap, and did not know what to do,” Anetta answered “Exactly, and you have done bravely, but Netta dear,” Mrs. Wexton leaned forward and her voice was soft and eager, would you like another free trial offer to attend the New York Art Institue at my expense?” Oh but why Mrs. Wexton.” and despite her dreams a gleam of pride flashed in her eyes. “But you'll accept It. won’t you? she asked almost fearing. My mother might care.” She has agreed already. “Then I will.” Anetta answered, and I'll pay it back, yes every cent D. T. D.

When Mr. Spitler took hold of the reins of athletics at the Hart High School, he meant to win. He has built up in a few years a team of good reputation, as was displayed by the football team of 1920. Throughout both years that Mr. Spitler coached the team he held to the rule of clean sportsmanship, yet hard and fast playing.

The day was cold and rainy and luck was against us. Our opponents had a very heavy team and we were defeated. On Turkey Day our grldders went over to Fremont. The day was cold and the men were anxious to get home to swallow 'heir annual feast, so went on the field to make the game a snappy one. 'I he team played excellent football and the game proved to bp a most mecersftil one. r- Page forty three Page forty-four 1 9 BASKET BALL TEAM 2 1 Vail Purdy Mack Riddell Dennert McMillan Spider BucHen Hackett BASKET BALL SCHEDULE AND GAMES ------------------------------------- 1 9 • ------------------------------------- --------------------«i 2 1 -------------------- Opponents Place Date H.

The girls went to Pent water for their first game. None of the girls had ever played an outside game. Although the game at Pent-water was lost by a score of 19 to 8. it was good practice for them and they went home determined to win the return game with them. On the following Friday the girls played a game at Mears. The score was 26 to 9 in favor of Hart. Four weeks after our defeat at Pentwater we played our return game with them at Hart This game was the Game of the Season. fJr the girls. It was exciting from beginning to end. The score was II to 4 in our favor at the end of the first half. The final score was 17 to 8. This was Pent water’s first defeat this season. The last game of the year was played March 25. with the Alumni. The girls played very well for not having any practice and kept the High School going. The outcome was 24 to 8 In favor of the H. II. S. The girls enjoyed their work in Basket Hall this year and owe much to their coach for her untiring ftorts to help them, and the seniors wish them the luck of having her with them next year. What a riot of charm in the flashing white arm. In the lithe, bounding tangle of grace. When the maids of today essay basketball play And proceed to hit up a fast pace.

Are the girls in a basketball game. lJage forty-seven I I,;isi year Mr. E. B.

Page forty-eight BASKET BALL REVIEW V-------------------------- 1 9 ___________________________ 1 The Basket Ball season opened with Pentwater. Their team tried hard to score but due to lack of coaching, the Hart team ran away with them. 2 The next Thursday the Football Stars of Ludington came down to show their ability. They went Into the game to make a touch down instead of u basket. Our team played all around them and more than tipped the Ludington score. 3 The next game was with the Alumni. This was a very fast and hard played game, but due to the experience of the older players they succeeded in dropping in two more baskets than the High School. A After vacation we took Fremont who proved to be easier than they looked. Both teams fought hard but our team had the advantage by being on their own floor and won a very exciting game. 5 The team went down to Muskegon to play their star team and expected to be handlcaped by the large floor. The floor did bother them as it was so small that our men shot the full length of II but were unable to place the baskets, so were defeated. 6 The team went over to play Heed City on Thursday. The game was a fast one showing that both teams were working. Hart out classed their opponents in passing but could not find the basket. 7 T'he game at Fremont the next night was a hard one for our team, as the team was tired from the night before. The game was more football than basket ball and Hart was defeated. 8 When the team went to Benton Harbor they opposed a very strong team, one of the best in the state. The game was close anti showed the result of hard practice by both teams. — 2 1 ---------------------- 9 Grand Haven arrived with a team of husky looking men. The game was an exciting one, Hart leading by about three points until the last half when .Mack starred by delivering some long shots to the basket. 10 In the South Haven game the team was damaged by the loss of our big center, Buchen. and met defeat as the result, the game being played without a field basket. 11 The Benton Harbor game was one of the fastest played on our floor this season. Both teams fought hard for baskets, but due to the fact that Benton llarlmr had a man playing with them twenty-one years old. the game was forfeited to Hart. 12 The game at Grand Haven was a fast one, everyone showing lots of pep. This is the game that .McMillan showed his ability at the guard position, breaking up nearly all their plays. 13 Coopersvilie’s team was not very strong and Hart played all round them. Bob dropping the baskets in as fast as they gave him the ball. H The Coopersvi lie men were not very husky fellows, but they were full of pep and would play hard in the face of defeat. They were not used to our method of attack and consequently we took them off their feet. 14 Big Rapids came up here with big intentions but the lack of coaching took them to defeat. 16 The Big Rapids game was not very difficult as their team was not fast enough to stand up with the H. H. S. and the result was a great victory for Hart. 17 The la-gion had been a rival of the High School all the year, so to close the season they met to fight It out. The game was played In good shape showing the good grade of players Hart puts out. Page forty-nine BASKET BALL ----------------------------- 1 9 'h------------------------■--- REPORT OF TRIP TO MT. PLEASANT The learn left Hart for Ludington via auto at 4:30 Tuesday morning. From thence we tripped across this beautiful state and arrived in the town of Ml. Pleasant at high noon, with full grips, high hopes and empty stomachs. We were assigned to our rooms, walked two miles, got our pins and then were permitted to eat. And I might gay we had good grub all along. Tt three. Spitlor drew numbers, and needless to say. he picked a raspberry, called Reed City. We slid over to the High Gym in one of Mt. Pleasant’s motor busses. Here we played a good game. We beat but the score was against us. Then we had supper. Next morning, we drew a lemon, and didn't know it. called Tawas City. Some game. We beat and the score was with us this time. This game was played in the Indian school gym. We missed outlast year's rooters, but you can’t hold a good team down. ---------------------------------«. 2 1 _________________________________ At noon we were entertained with an amateur play, given in the Normal. Then dinner. We had to eat lightly and could not discuss the game. We played in the high again and won. Then we had a complete re: t of a few minutes, and went at it again. Well, don't give up. but we won. The rest of the teams then enjoyed a banquet and we enjoyed with 'em—the music. We slid on to the Normal floor to play Mt. Pleasant, a class A team. Again we beat, and again the score was against us. After the thing was over, we got in the parade and received our trophy as second place winner in the Consolation Tournament. We jerked along towards home the next morning before breakfast. The men who took the trip were: Hackett. Mack. Buchen, Vail. McMillan and Riddell. C. W.

Tell me that. Is it because he has such darling dimpled little feet, or that he has such a smile that would captivate Helen Billings or even maybe Cleopatra. We all know Tex. He’s a great fellow when he is feeling good. Today the old boy is studying real hard because lie is going to the show, tonight, with friend Helen. Wouldn't it make anybody smile to have the chance to take such a queen to the movies? By the way, do you know Ky McMillan, tin- guy with the Ford race-mo-bile? He's another one of these fellows who is on the verge of getting married. Did you know that Chet Mack was in feminine row. You know' he has been going with Josephine Kvans. at one time, and then with Virginia Richmond another, and one day they both asked him to take them to the show that night. This got Chet so perplexed that he came to me for advice. I being a little superior in such matters, told him to take one to the first show and then take the other to the next show. This would lessen the family trouble. For my little helpful hint. I spent two weeks in the hospital. There is Isnhele VanAmberg. a cute little thing, isn’t she? There’s been the worst scandal going around that she eloped with fhe Janitor of her dad’s flat. We know Wallace Ingland hasn’t heard a thing of this because he doesn’t say a word about it to anybody. I had a little typewriter, Underwood, That acted as bad as a typewriter could. The right letters grew in Just the wrong place. And the space bar always refused to space. After using that Underwood.

As before, a picnic was scheduled to which the Faculty was again invited. An exploration was made further into the deep forest, and a cite for location was spied which greatly excelled the one of Sophomore-burg. After due consultation. It was decided that a second move be planned. The Faculty, with the exception of the Interpreter and scientist, decided to leave their homes and make the journey with the pioneeis to the new cite, soon to he called Juniortown. As the short journey was nearing an end. a strange man was found Intently studying some chemical proposition. Upon question, he answered that his name was Trull. Immediately he was requested to join the company, since they lacked a scientist. The only vacancy remaining was the one of interpreter. This was supplied by a certain Miss Felt, a visitor in the new land, but who had previously learned th language. A third time officers were elected. The President was Russel ICvans; Vice-President. Orel Rurdick; Secretary, Doris Kvans; and Treasurer. Bayard Ruchen. Almost by magic neat little homes were built and the village soon had an air of superiority. Strange to say. there were no natives to welcome the homeseckers. the place was void of human life. Rapidly the clearings were made for gardens and orchards. French trees and Shorthand bushes were carefully, though all to often carelessly, tended. Class life varied little from that of the two previous years. The difficulties were harder, but the experience of the workers was greater, and in most cases the obstacles were overcome. Proud of the achieved success, these Juniors are now planning a sumptuous banquet to be given in the latter part of .May. A picnic as usual will he the closing feature of the busy year in Juniortown. Again it has been rumored, and again the Faculty Indorse the statement, that a fat better location lies a little way from us. It has not been formally decided yet as to whether we shall make the move, but it is the unanimous opinion of the village that the journey be again resumed to those magnificent heights where we shall establish our Senior City.

This year it has been weak, hut as it could be used as a strong arm in the school, it would be advantageous to the entire school if it is kept up. Other schools use it for keeping order in the building, thus permitting the teachers more rest and relaxation period during their leisure moments. Next year the Council could do the same thing. Here is a copy of the minutes of one of the meetings. It will perhaps serve to show what the council was incorporated for. The third meeting of the Student Council was held at the School. October 21. 1920. The meeting was called to order by the president. It was voted that Chester Mack have tags printed for the football game. Hart vs. Shelby. The Basket Ball season soon opening, a Basket Ball Manager for the year was elected. Carson McMillan receiving the majority of the votes. For the girls, l.ydia Brandel was elected manager. After transacting this business, the meeting wan adjourned. The Student Council has looked after the Athletics in our school very efficiently, and through this group more interest has been created among the classes of the High School. The officers of the Student Council are: President. Clarence Riddell. Vice President. Helen Billings. Secretary. Iteda Krantz. Treasurer. Francis Dressell. Miss Savles. Mr. Spltler and Mr. Blanchard were the faculty members. Page sixty : WANT TO SELL • The Answer j i YOUR HOME? to the ! 1 { Waul to sell your home?
